Tim,
Just been through all those lovely and wild Yorkshire wolds and moors. It doesn`t seem safe to leave all those fractures in the rocks beneath them.

I passed the Spar...where UCCAT were having some sort of a union meeting.

It`s good to hear a protest poem with something really solid to test it`s teeth on)

Brilliant, Tim. Well written and well read, I enjoyed the sentiment too.

I can't fault this Tim. It has as much power as the drills and must follow its natural course. Very clever and well thought out !

Thanks Harry & John. More reason to protest now than there ever was in my opinion, Harry! The nearest I'll get to sharing a stage with the Stones, John!

Excellent in performance, Tim. The vid showed that.
Incidentally my laptop positioned you vid alongside "Others you might like". It was the Rolling Stones's "Gimme Shelter". You're in good company.

Tim,
this caught me as I`m off to Scarborough tomorrow.

Congratulations on a video done in the way(and right tone) that it should be.

I like the way how-in performance-the assonance works with endings to smooth the rhyme in stanza six.

Doesn`t everyone look happy at the end! (oh, for the days of `Maggie! Maggie! Maggie!...out! out! out!)

This was inspired by an anti-fracking protest I was on in Scarborough last month. I wrote it with a video in mind, which you can watch on https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tA1n6ThVMFM
